To see particles, such as individual cells or microorganisms, you would typically need a light microscope. However, to see smaller particles like viruses or nanoparticles, you would need an electron microscope.

Can you see particles with a microscope?

Yes You Can! It can be seen through microscope but it can't be seen through naked eyes because it is way too small to see because there are hundreds of particles in a single strand of your hair. So it is completely impossible to see with the naked eye.


Why a microscope is necessary in order to observe brownian motion?

A microscope is necessary to observe Brownian motion because the movement of particles is very small and needs to be magnified in order to be visible to the human eye. The microscope allows us to see the random motion of the particles as they collide with each other and move in a liquid or gas. Without a microscope, the individual particle movements would be too small to detect.


Can you see a milligram of salt with your naked eye?

It would depend on the type of salt. If it's normal table salt, then no, you cannot see it with the naked eye.


What size particles can a light microscope see?

A light microscope can typically resolve particles as small as 200 nanometers in size. This limit is known as the resolution limit of a light microscope due to the wavelength of visible light.Particles smaller than this limit may not be visible without additional techniques like fluorescence or electron microscopy.


Why do you need a microscope or hand lens to see the parts that make up matter?

Microscopes and hand lenses help magnify the tiny parts that make up matter, such as atoms and molecules, making them visible to the human eye. Without this magnification, these microscopic particles are too small to be seen.

Are particles of carbon almost large enough to see with a microscope?

No, individual carbon particles are much smaller than the resolution limit of a light microscope, which is around 200 nanometers. A scanning electron microscope or a transmission electron microscope would be needed to visualize individual carbon particles, which are typically on the nanoscale.

What kind of microscope do you need to see an ants exoskeleton?

i am not sure of what kind of microscope you need, but not something cheap at all, i can remember that i did this on a really cheap one a couple of years ago, a normal stereo microscope (optic) should work fine ;3


Is ketchup a solution?

No, ketchup is not a solution because in a solution you can't see the particles but in ketchup if you look with a microscope you can see the particles. Making ketchup a colloid!
